how can I setup a form on my site that people can txt me with?

I have a website that offers a service and would like customers to be able to txt me to schedule an appointment, would this be possible?


Thanks

To a mobile phone, correct? If so, then all the carriers have a SMS Gateway that you can email to. for instance, AT&T (Cingular) is xxxx@txt.att.net

Or, you can also use this chart:

Provider
What's my SMS Email address?​

Former AT&T Wireless10DigitPhoneNumber@mmode.com
Example: 9055556543@mmode.comCingular10DigitPhoneNumber@mobile.mycingular.comMetrocall10DigitPhoneNumber@page.metrocall.comNextel10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.nextel.comSprint PCS10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.comT-Mobile10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.netVerizon10DigitPhoneNumber@vtext.comALLTEL10DigitPhoneNumber@message.alltel.com

You can send an email to these addresses and it will come as a text to you:

Former AT&T Wireless 10DigitPhoneNumber@mmode.com
Cingular 10DigitPhoneNumber@mobile.mycingular.com
Metrocall 10DigitPhoneNumber@page.metrocall.com
Nextel 10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.nextel.com
Sprint PCS 10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile 10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.net
Verizon 10DigitPhoneNumber@vtext.com
ALLTEL 10DigitPhoneNumber@message.alltel.com

use a gateway service, email directly to your phone (eg #@mms.uscc.net)

What carrier do you have? I know with Verizon if you send an email to PHONE@vtext.com it'll forward to your phone via text message.
